42nd.[Highland].Regiment.[Blackwatch].[Malta].

The Blackwatch in Malta represent  the Highland troops which came to the Island with the British forces during the Napoleonic Wars. After the French soldiers garrisoning Malta were defeated they were replaced by red-coats and loyal Maltese troops.

This section of the 42nd serve alongside the crew and marines of H.M.S.Alexander and the Maltese Light Infantry. Members are drawn from Malta, but a few come from further afield,[The U.K. for instance]. As with most Highland units, the 42nd here in Malta are part of The Worldwide Highland Brigade.

Although small in numbers we are always open to recruits.

In recent years the Reg't has served in Belgium,Comino, Denmark, Elba, England, Gozo,Holland, Malta,
